The Parish of Pamber is located in the north of Hampshire, England, near the border with Berkshire and is made up of four villages – Pamber Heath, Little London, Pamber Green and Pamber End
Pamber Heath
The largest of the four villages in the Parish of Pamber, with some 1,500 residents. It forms the whole of the north of the Parish between Tadley Common and Silchester Common.
The village dates back to circa 1839 or shortly before, although there were only four recorded dwellings in Pamber Heath at the time.

The village currently has a large modern village hall, a public house (The Pelican) and a convenience store.
Little London
A small village of about 120 properties on the southern edge of Pamber Forest.
One suggestion for its name is that Londoners escaping the plague could originally have occupied it. It is more likely to be a corruption of the Little Loddon River, more usually known as the Bow Brook.
The village was originally a small hamlet comprising a few farms, two public houses and farm worker’s dwellings.
In the 19th Century, two brickyards were on either side of the road near The Plough, continuing a tradition dating from Roman times.
The Plough Public House – Little London
Locals working in Pamber Forest frequently used this pub.
Evidence of a brick kiln and brickfield were found in 1926 to the north east of the pub.
Pamber Green
A rural settlement extending southwards from Tadley into Pamber End.
Pamber Green is home to several businesses, including three farms and a riding school, but there is no longer a village shop, or a pub, church, school or public building, and therefore no recognised village centre. Pamber Forest adjoins much of the village, so wildlife is abundant.
The publicly-maintained roads are Aldermaston Road and New Road; further, unadopted residential roads include Skates Lane, Kimbers Lane, Green Lane and the lane to Ravenscot Farm. Numerous public footpaths cross the area.
The named watercourses are Honeymill Brook, in the Kennet catchment area, and the Little London Stream, which rises in Pamber Green and flows into the River Loddon.
Pamber End
Pamber End is the southernmost hamlet in Pamber civil parish, with Bow Brook (River Loddon) marking the parish boundary near the Queens College Arms.
The settlement extends along Aldermaston Road, Bramley Road and Ramsdell Road.
Pamber End has no public buildings, but it has a pub and a garden centre with a tea shop & gift shop. The Priory church and primary school are situated on the western outskirts of the village.
